Odd, I see your photo @UkeNo, but I'm still getting the same error both on my laptop and on my phone.

I've been trying to upload another photo of the indigo evo on these jeans, but I keep getting an "Error Code: -200." Not sure if anyone else on the forum is having this problem. I've tried from both my phone and my laptop and same error each time

I give it a coat of Obenauf's before each wash. Not sure if the beeswax has anything to with preserving the pigment.

The patch may be my favorite bit of evo on these jeans.

After the third wash (I think). The usual bike seat fade and mild whiskering from a loose fit. Marbling galore. Waiting for that new shade to creep through, but still sitting on more or less the original rinsed indigo blue.

Can confirm heavy marbling. Too much marbling for me. It's moving me towards washing every 8 weeks or so because I don't want them going crazy like my Warehouse x Signet jeans did. Mine turned a corner after a thousand miles through the desert and they seem to be dropping indigo more quickly these days. I think @Broark's pair hits what I want, but not what I'm getting. Lol. Once it stops raining here, I'll try to get a few new pics up.

Ran 89 back down through the Navajo Reservation and onto 64 into the Grand Canyon National Park on Saturday. We rode the south rim and checked a couple scenic overlooks. Then we headed down 64 S to Williams, AZ. We took the historic Williams, AZ train up to the park yesterday and walked the geology trail along the south rim. Headed out onto Route 66 today. It was a bit hazy both days at the canyon and very hard to do it justice in photos anyway, but here are a few. My partner took the train photos. I'll try to have them send a few over to post later on. The train was fun. A bit of song and dance for entertaining the digital generation, but cool to ride in vintage cars from the '20s and '30s pulled by a nearly complete original locomotive from the '20s that fits the models that carried people to the canyon for decades before the ubiquity of the automobile. Its resurrection in the late '80s after two decades out of commission revitalized the town of Williams and kept it from being wiped off the map.

@julian-wolf, We took the big roads from Vegas to Zion, 15 out of Vegas to get to Valley of Fire and then 9 off of 15 to get out to Zion. Today we left Zion and ran 59 out of Utah onto 389 in Arizona to 89a to go through Kaibab National Forest, down into Marble Valley and up to Page on 89. Postcard views the entire ride.

@vIGGiou riou, it's been amazing so far. Nothing compared with the views and experience you get backpacking it like @julian-wolf, but stunning nonetheless. As a fun aside, a young woman shouted me out as the "best dressed man on the trail" yesterday. Lol. We're heading to Page, AZ getting our first glimpse of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon over the Historic Navajo Bridge today.

Vegas>Valley of Fire>Zion So far so good. Jeans for a soaking on the last half mile into Zion yesterday. Took a mellow hike up Kayenta Trail to Scout Outlook today.

@fabes, yep, just the usual trips to the laundromat as needed.

Through a second proper wash. They're doing what jeans do. I was surprised when people initially said these were fast faders. I certainly haven't experienced that. Interesting to see how that opinion has shifted. I'd put them in the neither fast nor slow, but just normal jeans in that regard. In fact, that's what I love about this pair so much. It's just a standard, no frills '50s straight that I oversized for fit. They're fading that way too. We're about to head out to Vegas, Zion, Grand Canyon, Route 66 and back to Vegas on a motorcycle trip next week. Should be fun to see how the road wear through the desert affects them. For now, here's some post-wash photos in the best light I've been able to get lately, admittedly not good. Haha.

My condolences, @bartlebyyphonics. Lovely to get a glimpse into your world. Inspiring rivers of thought you're wading in.

@MJF9, that's when it becomes a warmer day t-shirt only jacket. Looks great!
